Update: Jan 1, 2017
We made a new budget recommendation video. This Top 5 is now outdated. See it here: https://youtu.be/vYYQnZcQxwI

Update: Nov 24, 2016
After reviewing the F770 we think it’s the better dual channel parking camera compared to the Blackvue DR650GW for most drivers. See our video here first: https://youtu.be/zn6Sd2PXtmQ?t=457

Update: Aug 1, 2016
The $100 Viofo A119 is now my top budget camera pick . Great video quality, notifications, capacitors and stealthiness. The new gold standard. See our review here: https://youtu.be/amjcsoExAQU

#1 – XiaoYi Yi – $60
The cheapest WiFi, rotating camera we recommend. Good reliability but it has a lithium ion battery so don’t use it in hot environments. Our Review: https://youtu.be/SRycas4M4DY

Get it:
Amazon (USA) : http://amzn.to/2jn04bx
Amazon (UK) : http://amzn.to/2sRRCZ6
eBay (estore009): http://ebay.to/2xu2yiJ

#2 Transcend 200 – $100 – For drivers in hot and humid environments who are on a budget and need something reliable. If not, look at the Yi or the A119 instead. Our Review: http://youtu.be/h9BYFZN7wX4

Get It – Tape Version Recommended
Amazon USA – http://amzn.to/2ujshVV
Amazon CAN – http://amzn.to/2gn40dT
Amazon UK – http://amzn.to/2gMZMcz

#3 Blackvue DR650GW-2CH – $350
Watch the review here: http://youtu.be/0LrIPxpk-WM

Update: Nov 24th
The Thinkware F770 is the better pick for most drivers. See our review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjEPJtQ5PdA

#4 G1W – $40 – No longer recommended. There are good sellers but we think the A118C is a better buy for most drivers.

#5 A118-C – $50
The original version purchased overseas is still the cheapest for $50. We think this is the cheapest camera you should purchase. There are counterfeits, you want the Viofo model. Our Review: http://youtu.be/BpAwLSuWReo

Amazon UK: A118C: http://amzn.to/2u7w6QQ

Updated A118C2 model – $80
Right now it’s overpriced and the A119 is better but if you’re looking to get it here’s a few links:

Amazon USA: http://amzn.to/2iuVk7C (OCDTronic)
International: http://ebay.to/2ygAGMF (estore009)

THE RIGHT SD CARD
Make sure you pick the right SD card – cheaper cameras wear out faster in dash cameras (especially Sandisk Ultra!). See our guide: https://youtu.be/3QAF2flNsVc
